Super-Gaussian function

[SimasLTU]

Hello, everybody,

I have super-Gaussian beam profile, it is attached. I would like to fit some kind of function on it.

Maybe someone knows a super-Gaussian function?

Cheers,

Simas

A Google search for "super-Gaussian function" returned this link which shows changing the exponent in the Gaussian function from 2 to N.  Tou should be able to use the Nonlinear Curve Fit .vi with a suitable function VI for f(x,a).

If that is not what you were asking, please be more specific.
